Elevated serum homocysteine levels associated with poor recurrence-free and overall survival in patients with colorectal cancer
This study aimed to evaluate the significance of homocysteine (HCY) levels in predicting recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. This retrospective study involved 1272 CRC patients. The risk of mortality increased with increasing HCY levels in CRC patients. The optimal HCY cutoff value in CRC patients was 15.2 μmol/L. The RFS (45.8% vs. 60.5%, p < 0.001) and OS (48.2% vs. 63.2%, p < 0.001) of patients with high HCY levels were significantly lower than those of patients with low HCY levels. Patients with high HCY levels were older, male, had large tumours, high ca...

Au- ZnFe < sub > 2 < /sub > O < sub > 4 < /sub > hollow microspheres based gas sensor for detecting the mustard gas simulant 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide
In this study, based on the morphologies of ZnFe2O4 hollow microspheres, a solvothermal method was adopted to realize different levels of Au loading. Toward 1 ppm of 2-CEES, the gas sensor based on 2 wt.% Au-loaded ZnFe2O4 hollow microspheres exhibited a response sensitivity twice that of the gas sensor based on pure ZnFe2O4; furthermore, the response/recovery times decreased. Additionally, the sensor displayed excellent linear response to low concentrations of 2-CEES, outstanding selectivity in the presence of several common volatile organic compounds, and good repeatability, as well as long-term stability. The Au-loaded ...

Sandwich-like voltametric immunosensing of interleukin-8 based on β-cyclodextrin/carbon nanotubes and methylthionine chloride@UIO-66 framework
Anal Sci. 2024 Apr 25. doi: 10.1007/s44211-024-00574-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe level of interleukin-8 (IL-8) in the body is an effective factor for the early diagnosis of acute tubular necrosis and oral tumor. In this work, a novel sandwich-like voltametric immunosensor (SVS) of IL-8 was constructed by preparing β-cyclodextrin/carbon nanotube (CD/CNT) to immobilize primary antibody (PAb) of IL-8 and UIO-66-NH2 MOFs structure to immobilize second antibody (SAb) and methylene blue (Mb) probe. In this designed SVS, the prepared CD/CNT nanohybrid with large surface area and conductivity can immobilize PAb via simpl...
